Are these bananas Muso Basjo?
I am trying to find out if these banana plants are all Musa Basjoo. The are all supposed to be Musa Basjoo.
The left chair has 2 banana plants that do not look like the 4 in the right chair. this made me think the 2 in the left chair were not Musa Basjoo and perhaps some other kind of Banana. What do you think these banana plants are? This is one view of the 2 from the left chair after a few days planted. This is the other side view of the 2 from the left chair after a few days planted. 0 This is a picture of 2 from the right chair that I think are Musa Basjoo after a few days planted. thank you Markbananas |

Re: Are these bananas Muso Basjo?
To me the 2 on the left look like musa basjoo. The ones on the right look more cavendish. I'm not an expert and that's just my best guess.

Re: Are these bananas Muso Basjo?
The ones on the left are exactly like mine which I'm pretty sure is basjoo. Has winged closed petioles and the yellowish green color.
Ones on the right look different to me. New pictures look more like basjoo but so hard to tell without close up pictures of the petioles. You may have to wait for some leaf growth. Good news is basjoo is super easy to identify. They look totally different than all my other plants. Mostly the color and winged closed petioles. I'll try to get some pics of mine later.

Re: Are these bananas Muso Basjo?
They are all M. basjoo, definitely no Cavendish. The colors can vary slightly with age and conditions.

Re: Are these bananas Muso Basjo?
M. basjoo petioles are winged but open, not closed, and often spreading widely even.

Musa basjoo - more closed. Musa gran Nain - more open. That's what I was talking about. Guess it's not totally closed but way less open than most I have. I'm pretty sure I have a basjoo and I have never seen any red on one. Learn something everyday. Thanks gabe. Just trying to learn. There is no doubt in my mind you are correct here.

Re: Are these bananas Muso Basjo?
Are there any other bananas that have this same type of petioles as you described that may look like the Musa Basjoo?

Re: Are these bananas Muso Basjo?
Musa Orinoco. It may be what I have instead of basjoo. I have for sure tall Orinoco and dwarf Orinoco. They look a lot different than my "basjoo". It should flower very soon no matter what it is and I will know for sure. It's my tallest banana at about 15'. Counting leaves it's 20+
